Review: OUR LADY OF THE SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER at TuYo Theatre
by ErinMarie Reiter - Sep 12, 2026
Our Lady of the San Diego Convention Center centers these experiences with care and humor, giving audiences a chance to know these migrant girls and what they experienced as children by capturing their fears, friendships, faith, and small moments of joy instead of as statistics or political talking points. TuYo Theatre’s production reminds us that their stories deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered.

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Roxy's Downtown
by Paula Makar - Sep 5, 2026
Come From Away is the musical we need right now. As political tensions mount, we need to remember the kindness shown by our neighbor Canada during a most critical time for our United States. Director Rick Bumgardner tells us the “spine” of this show is the word “Goodwill.” We would do well to remember the lessons of 9/11, as well as the Golden Rule - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

A Broadway Show With Every American President
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Aug 23, 2026
Theatre has always intersected with politics, and the presence of American presidents in Broadway, off-Broadway, and regional theatre plays and musicals is a major part of this. Did you know that all of our heads of state have been featured in shows, whether as characters or as plot points that are part of the action? Dramatizing current and former leaders of our nation is a way to examine their affect on society at the time and how political events, even those of many years ago, still impact us all.
